Package: honeyd-common
Version: 1.5b-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Many of the shipped scripts under /usr/share/honeyd/scripts
have bashisms, which makes them behave erratically when honeyd is
ran on a system that doesn't have bash as /bin/sh. The most prominent
example is the use of "echo -e". This breaks the output of those
scripts making them instantly recognisable as being from honeyd rather
than genuine.

There are two possible solutions:
1) Of course, fix the bashisms to posix-compliant shell, or
2) probably easier: update the scripts to #!/bin/bash instead of
   #!/bin/sh


thanks,
Thijs
